first of all i must say TU2 is amazing. u guys and girls at bungie do a good job and i hope you keep bringing more of the same.
second of all if my friend invites me to play and i pause it, am i still vulnerable to being shot at?
third of all HI

I've got a really bad idea.

Posted by: GangstaofLove92
people who are sticking up for bungie right now are a bunch of idiots. what in the hell are you trying to do. get yourself recon.
Your powers of deduction are impressive, but like you said,
Posted by: GangstaofLove92
you will never know a persons intent.
So which is it? Am I trying to curry some favour with Bungie? Do you know my intent? Cue logic disaster at your location.

Posted by: GangstaofLove92
obviously bungie is wrong in some ways but right in others.
You are absolutely right. Bungie is not perfect. That's why they investigate potentially undeserved bans rather than claiming infallibility. They sound fairly benevolent.

Posted by: GangstaofLove92
in my case i obviously know that i was trying to get oddball. maybe bungie should of made oddball pop up a lot more and half of this wouldn't of happened and wouldn't have people breathing down their neck.
You're silently suggesting that you somehow deserved the achievement soon after release. Oddball would have shown up eventually. If it was weighted 0.000005%, it would have shown up. Bungie's intent wasn't to hand you some points - otherwise they would have. And I think you greatly overestimate Bungie's fear at having people "breathing down their neck [sic]."

Posted by: GangstaofLove92
once again, my case is legit in what i have stated. now if any bungie employee has the guts to speak up against me and risk being completely humiliated, feel free to do so. who cares if you have the games to prove that everyone was winning by huge amounts. you will never know a persons intent. my case is that the fastest way i thought of getting oddball was to have one person run around the whole entire time and kill everyone.
^-- Logic death. You broke some rules, then admitted it, and someone should be scared of being humiliated by you? I have nothing to gain from this but satisfaction with my cleaner game environment, so my investment in the issue may be less than Bungie's, but feel free to humiliate me.

Posted by: GangstaofLove92
also, the friends that i did this with didn't even get banned. so bungie, if you say your going to ban everyone who is exp boosting please follow up with it. i've at least talked to about 20 other people who say that they did it with others and their friends didn't get banned. your system is faulty. next time you come out with something like this do it right or don't do it at all.
You're silly to think that the community is worse for not having eliminated all boosters. One down is damn good justification for all this mess.

So, does anyone else think that bungie should make an "I got EXP banned and all I got was this stupid t-shirt" t-shirt? I haven't been banned personally, but it would be a nice way to rake in some cash. With all the complaints I've heard, it might just work nicely.

You were not wrongfully banned; you boosted in the DLC FFA playlist.

And second of all, what does it matter if you can't gain EXP with your "friend?" I'm sure you guys can still have a good time playing the game and not worrying about EXP points.

Third, bad joke my friend.

I searched for a "fileshare ban" thread, but didnt find one...

Recently, my brother attempted to upload one of his maps to his fileshare when a message popped up and told him he was banned from using it. I know the rules on what you cannot put in a fileshare (Modded content, offensive material, etc.) and asked him about it. He told me he put no such thing in his fileshare.

I am not asking for a lift of the ban, I am looking for a reason. If you could help us out on this Bungie, it would help us understand what got him banned...

His account: Tiy534

Crap, I found the "I've been sent to banadu" thread... If this question cannot be answered here I will post it there...

If you've been EXP banned, and you believe yourself to be innocent, post here. But first, let's get some nonsense out of the way:

- If you're cheating to get Achievements, you're still cheating. The banhammer is aimed at the behavior, not the intent. "I was just trying to get Yorick" won't get you out of the EXP ban.
- No, people aren't getting banned just because they play a lot with their friends. There's a difference between boosting and actually playing with friends, and we can tell the difference.
- If you haven't been banned, you won't see a message that says you have. Be careful that you did not confuse what we call the "nag message" that we introduced after TU2 with a ban message. Don't try to stir people up by claiming to be unjustly banned when you are not.
- All EXP bans given out so far are considered "first offense" bans. Two weeks is the duration for a first offense. The degree and duration of ban increases if you're caught cheating again.
- As is said on http://www.bungie.net/ban, it is not our problem if it is your brother, cousin, best friend, mom, dad, girlfriend, boyfriend, or kitten that got your console banned. If it turns out that your gamertag is suffering from their wrongdoing, that is an issue you'll have to take up with them.
- If you are "not sure" if you've been banned, then you haven't been. People who get banned are notified very clearly.

That should cover it. Post away! Keep it civil. People who get belligerent about their ban, especially when it's justified, are just going to get themselves in more trouble.

[Edit] One other thing: This is now the ONLY thread for discussion on EXP bans. Any new threads created to argue a ban will get locked.


Yo if your not using mods, cheats, or hacks of any sort can you still get banned?

I'm posting on behalf of a person I was playing with that goes by the Gamertag "BR MLG Swift".

I played with him and six other people in the Team Snipers playlist over the weekend. We got matched up, loved playing against each other, and joined as a full party of 8 (with one or two people switching out and in on occasion). The teams were random, and we were all just playing and having a good time. On more than one occasion, myself (gamertag Aiec baidwin), BR MLG, and another player said it was the most fun they have had playing H3 to date.

The playlist ended and BR MLG had reached Major grade 2, pinning him on top of the rankings for the weekend playlist. I got on yesterday and played with him again, this time in DLC Big Team, and we started going at it again. Playing, hanging back, having fun playing the game. We hit nasty lag for about an hour, over and over again in the matches, then when he set his priority from "best connection" to "quickest", the problem ended. All around though, it was a good time.

I guess BR MLG did too well for your liking, Bungie, because he just messaged me saying he was EXP banned. I was shocked and furious. We played the game they way you allowed us to play and expected us to, and he was punished because he excelled. He got number 1 on the rankings in snipes and happened to be playing with a group of friends, so he was cheating? We all had bad lag for an hour or two and he still went positive in his K/D ratio, so he was using standby? Sounds like major 'blam' to me.

I'm asking on his behalf because he has no idea why this happened to him, and I told him I would ask you guys to take care of it. I had some faith in Bungie's ethics concerning their own community, but it seems to me like you're just looking for ways to bring down the banhammer and laugh. I'm still appalled that this happened, and I hope it gets sorted out very soon.

I'd like an email response if it's not too much trouble. v1tal_in4mati0n@yahoo.com

Please take care of this. I know the system works, but nothing is perfect. His EXP ban was definitely a flaw.

Well, I have an exp ban. i was trying to get the new achivement's and was trying for an oddball game with a friend, we played one game with some other guy's who said to join after to find an oddball game so we did. one of them mentioned guest to hurry up the prosecc of it and then him and his friend said they have no more controller's and asked me and my friend. so like a ijit i did, (please note i WAS fully aware of exp boosting but did not know this is the way to do it). every time we had a match he told us one person has to get the all the kills and so it went on and i got the exp ban, not sure if i was the only one cause there was some one wityh a guest. any hoo i didnt know i was doing it but i was doing it so im not trying to get out of it. i know now not to but i think the hammer should be changed to nab all people involved if they are partyed as i got the exp ban yet the person who said get soem guest's in as we dont have any controllers spare did not get the ban to my knowledge. check the games yes its clear we where boosting, my first time offence but it was after the update and i come on bungie.net weekly so i would not of perpsly boosted for the first time just after the update. needless to say i was rather shocked and confused when i got the ban but soon clicked on, when my friend came online he didnt have one wich just confused me abit.

i AM NOT trying to get out of this.

just wanted to know if there was to be any changes to people who are party'ed with booster's?? shishka any info on that matter???

Ash

p.s excuse the grammer, long day.


bump!

i just want to know about people in the guilty party that do not have guest's, BUT are still as big a part of boosting as the person with the guest's? can some one shed some light on this? I feel it is wrong to exp ban people that are boosting with out banning the people who are boosting with them minus the fact they have guest's.

any one?

Ash.


come on some one fair enough i got the ban i understand but why not the people who did it with me knowing what they where doing but did not have guest's?

Gladly. You EXP boosted here and in a bunch more.

Posted by: SilentSurfer7
I was recently banned but believe i am innocent...I never even knew what boosting was before i got the message. My friend just said it would be fun to get some killtaculars in matchmaking and i got in trouble for it :'(
Your friend didn't have your best interests in mind, and since you already know that it was earning those illegitimate Killtaculars that got you banned, I don't see how you can profess innocence.

I just bought my xbox used and there's an exp ban on it. The guy that sold it to me explained that he got it for quitting matches too many times or something. I was hoping theres some way for me to appeal the ban or find out how much longer there is on it,



yeaaaaaah right, why did u bought it in the first place?


Well I couldn't afford a brand new elite and it was a really good price. I didn't really care about the ban because I know they are temporary. I just wanna know if I can get it removed early or at least find out how much longer I have to wait.

And really, I don't need you questioning me.
